Faculty, staff and students in the College often need to communicate research to colleagues at professional meetings, poster sessions and seminars, as well as to lay audiences and the general public.
Research Poster Templates
A series of new poster templates in multiple styles is available especially for Natural Sciences students and researchers. Use these templates for polished presentations to display your work. There are two sizes to choose from, each available in PPT and each containing eight different styles, with four layout options per style:
Slides 1-5 include instructions on how to choose the best template for your project and edit it accordingly.
As a complementary resource, be sure to review this new resource to aid college researchers in designing scientific figures.
Poster Printing Services

Scientific Illustration and Design
Austin is home to a number of professionals who specialize in scientific illustration and design. The communications and media office maintains a small list of people who have offered to work with the College's scientists for a fee. To be added to our database of scientific illustrators or for contact information for one of these professionals, please contact Director of Communications Christine Sinatra. You also may wish to consult our Design Tips for Scientists for additional information.
